your home made diffusers have done a great job - I had to laugh when I read your description of them - 'I know it look like crap' - if only Canon was as frank!

Stunned that Canon didn't use a better plastic for the diffuser on the MT-24EX. there are notches on each side of the flash heads, almost like they planned on producing some sort of snap on diffuser for it...

canon made the mistake of selling them with out defusers..they should do the right thing and make some for it..cause mine needs defusing big time.and sten fen suck

I didn't like the Sto-Fen diffusers either. They stick out too far, and if you point the flash heads in I think there is some light getting back into the lens from the diffuser -might explain why I was having exposure problems at 3x and higher mag (under exposed a lot).

Thank you! I like

No way -I can photograph spiders, but as I'm walking away my skin starts to crawl...
